Yeah, those old metal raptors still hold up pretty well. Lets see if the 3rd time trying to paint them is the charm.

I do like them - the blue-green looks great!

I found your thoughts on Slannesh interesting, though I don't necessarily agree with all of them. At the heart of it, I disagree with your characterizing Slannesh in terms of sin, as I feel that is overly restrictive and ultimately is a poor fit for what makes chaos insidious. Yes, falling to chaos does involve sin, but to me the real power of it is not the sin but how it warps virtue into evil. Stemming from that, I here are my sub-issues: 1. I think that your focus on sin ignores the sensation seeking aspect of Slannesh. Sure, you could lump that under gluttony, but that just makes gluttony mean excess which kind of strips it of any meaning in this context, as slannesh = excess. 2. I disagree with sloth being a path to Slannesh. While I know there is some official GW material tieing a lack of stimulation as "excess" (I think it was Slanneshi devotees to silence), to me that seemed a dishonest twisting of what "excess" means - the only way Slannesh would find worship in silence would be in its breaking, to make a reintroduction of cacaphony even more potent and meaningful. So, silence would never be more than a means to an end, not an end in itself. Likewise, I don't see sloth exercised for its own sake, but rather as a consequence of more slanneshi pursuits (for example, one would likely become slothful if drunk or high all the time). 3. I also disagree with anger being a path to Slannesh - or at least, singled out as one. Yes, and excess of emotion is pleasing to Slannesh, but in that respect wrath is no more pleasing than any other emotional excess such as love, sadness, fear, or whatnot. Rather, what would be most pleasing to Slannesh would be excesses in one emotion but in wide swings between them. 4. I'm not certain that pride lays at the core of all of the paths to Slannesh. While I agree that it probably is at the core of some of the paths (such as the pursuit of protection), for others like the pursuit of sensation, greed or gluttony I don't think the connection necessarily follows - feelings such as shame (or other feelings) are as or more likely to form the basis of such. That said, as a devotee to slannesh, I none the less found your analysis interesting.

Thanks @Brother Anderson & @Bonehead - I'm definitely slipping it into my paint queue for Call to Arms, as I think it will be a blast to paint. Either of you have any suggestions on how to make the eggs look slimey? Nothing really comes to mind other than a thick coating of glossy varnish and letting some drip over the edges of the upper cavity.

Been a while since I posted, but I wanted to tell you I really like all the work you've been putting into your minis' legs to make them your own - both the knee pads and leg armour look great. Plus, it makes me feel less excessive for giving all my models capes - though, I suppose as a slannesh collector, I should feel bad about that. Looking forward to seeing what you do for CtA - less than 2 weeks until vows open.

Glad to hear your enthusiasm! Myself, I'll most likely be splitting my efforts between my chaos knights and my emperor's children - I have 2 big knights to paint and a whole swack of EC including Fulgrim. I also have a few CSM models to throw in, in the form of my vindicator and abomination (chaos ogrynn stand in). Spoiled with choices of what to paint, the question becomes what subfaction will I be supporting this year? Probably EC, though if the weather doesn't get a lot drier soon to allow me to airbrush them, my main focus will be the 2 knights... so maybe Chaos Knights?

Prot, its good hearing you get some reps in and some success with your Chaos forces. Haven't managed to get a game in with mine since the defilers got their new rules, but I am eager to do so. Eventually I intend to add a couple more to my roster (one converted, one actual GW model, which I haven't yet been able to acquire), but those won't be done anytime soon. Personally, I am one of those who think they are undercosted and should be in the 275-300 range, and certainly see myself playing at lease one at such a point cost should they go up in points... higher than that, though, I would need to start giving it more serious thought. That said, I quite liked my old defiler at its old point cost and found it a valuable piece to my army except against very shooty armies. That said, the games where I did play it we probably didn't have enough terrain. Not surprised you need 2 to have them be effective - that's my experience with 40K more generally. Any important piece needs redundancy, and just 1 usually just dies without doing anything. Certainly that's my experience with maulerfiends. I'm not sure I agree with the statement that the defiler and the venomcrawler are intended for the same role - to me, the defiler seems more like a forgefiend and maulerfiend stapled together. That said, whatever its role, its a welcome addition - especially to Emperor's Children and their lack of anything (other than landraiders) that shot more than 24" and paltry selection of weapons over S 9. I find it interesting that the defiler fills such a huge role in Emperor's Children that some tourney winning lists with them aren't fielding any noise marines at all - which have previously been an almost mandatory 3 take. I think it says a lot about the hollowness of the codex: EC that in order to get an adequate antivehicle punch people were maxing out on knife-ranged weapons that were barely adequate for the task.

The Strongholds are now up, but can't be posted in until June 15 when the event begins. Astartes / Imperium / Chaos / Xenos / Heresy More detailed point values for each subfaction are in the subfaction Rally Points. In the meantime, if you have any questions please post them in a Rally Point or message me @Dr_Ruminahui. Happy plotting and planning!

Just realized I missed posting this here. Greetings all warlords and generals of the Horus Heresy. Call to Arms is back this year, with @Dr_Ruminahui running it again. For those new to B&C or simply unaware, Call to Arms is a Forum wide event that this year runs from June 15th until September 15th! The forum is split up into 5 Strongholds: Imperium, loyal Astartes, Chaos, Xenos and Heresy with all 5 factions competing against one another to paint the most in the 3 months time limit. There will be a Central hub thread for each of the Strongholds in the Work in Progress section of the Forge forum which will be linked once it's live. We can use thread to cross post in and track/give motivation to those participating. For those of you familiar with previous Call to Arms events, the rules are exactly the same this year except for the new Rapid Deployment vow. Check out the full rules here If you've got any questions, give @Dr_Ruminahui or one of the Mods a shout!
